Default VGA to RCA cable

Hi there, I have been informing myself recently regarding this type of cable.

http://www.google.ca/images?hl=en&q=...w=1276&bih=815

From what I understand, they do not convert VGA to RCA, due to the different signals they emit.

But on the other hand, when I browse and read customer feedback. I noticed that it worked for some people.
This is where I actually planned to buy the cable.

Now, that being said, it seems that some video cards is able to support this feature.

My video card is a powercolor HD 5750

I really don't know much about video card. Family suggest me to buy it back there, because I was looking for a cheap price,reasonable use since I am not going to play in those hardcore graphic gameplay.
That's why I seek for an answer.


I f any of you know the answer whether my video card will be able to use this cable so I could watch through my Tele. Would save my lot of my trouble.

Thanks.

When I purchased my HIS HD4850 it came with an RCA adapter (to run on a TV), however the card does have a special plug for that purpose, so I would check things out to make sure before purchasing.
Here is the HIS HD 5750: http://www.hisdigital.com/un/product2-495.shtml
It doesn't look as though there model has the converter any more!!
